My computer screen is programmed to have less blue light at night.

Really cool. My screen just changed with a lower level of light and a different color. It is supposed to help prevent sleeping disturbance when the computer is used in the evening.

Does yours do this?

1. Mine has it as an optional setting,

but I find it harder to see, so I don't use it. I know people who do, and really like it.

2. I do think it an option I had found one day clicking around and turned it on.

I like it.

Win 10 has it built in.

Just google "f.lux" and then download.

Using keyboard shortcuts, it allows easy control of the brightness of the screen.

12. Yes, thank you!

I saw someone else reference f.lux and downloaded it. It works great!

6. Yes, I have a "Nighttime" setting

I use it

8. f.lux

I use an app called f.lux. You can set it for your geographic location so the computer screen turns an orangish colour as the sun sets.

9. Blue light can also be harmful to your retinas.

I manage the digital signage network for a company that does the patient education content for eye doctors, and we have a couple of videos about it.
